The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Walk the sacred ground of Anzac Cove, Lone Pine, and Chunuk Bair with a specialist battlefield historian. This is the defining pilgrimage of the Gallipoli peninsula — raw, moving, and unforgettable.
Explore Gallipoli's stunning island old town with a private local expert — from the 3rd-century BC Greek Fountain to the imposing Angevin Castle and the baroque Cathedral of Sant'Agata. A masterclass in 3,000 years of layered civilization.
A sweeping private journey through the heel of Italy's boot — medieval Otranto's mosaic-floored cathedral, Galatina's Byzantine frescoes, and the wild Adriatic cliffs of the Salento coast. The Puglia that most visitors never reach.
Slip away from the harbour on a private boat to discover hidden sea caves, crystalline grottos, and deserted coves along Gallipoli's dramatic Ionian shoreline. The only way to access what the land keeps secret.
Travel to Puglia's 'Florence of the South' for a private guided immersion in its extraordinary golden-stone baroque architecture — then take coffee at the storied Palazzo Morisco. Lecce's piazzas are among Italy's most beautiful, and almost no cruise passenger bothers to come this far.
Retreat to a centuries-old Pugliese masseria (fortified farmhouse) for a private tasting of Primitivo and Negroamaro wines alongside estate-pressed olive oil — one of the world's most prestigious. This is the taste of Salento in its most authentic, unhurried form.
